Breaking news for Ohio. Just a few years ago Dolree Mapp and her sister, who was not put in the public news, had a tradgic thing happen to them, right in their home. Here today, to tell their vile story, please welcome Dolree Mapp and her sister.
We're so glad you are here. Now tell me what happened.
Well in, in 1961, me and my sister had been moved out of our parent's house for a year so we were grooving to the music. Then someone messed up our mojo and knocked on our door.
We answered the door to see a police officer at our steps She said nicely to let her search our house. I asked her where her search warrant was and she got her gun out and pointed it at us.
We didn't wan to die so we let her in.
She never said what she was looking until she found our magazine. She put, she put handcuffs on us and then she brought us to jail.
We weren't bads mana jamas so we took it to the supreme court.
She was wrong we were right and the police officer was dismissed. The police officer did not follow the 4th Amendment on the Bill of rights
